Map Download very slow

I started yesterday downloading the German map. Download was very slow and was not yet finished when I went to bed 5 hours later. This morning the circle of the download symbol was full but still the menu says that it‘s not finished.
I‘m sure that it‘s not a problem of my internet access as I have a 50 Mbit access. What can I do to finish the download in decent time?
Best regards

It normally is not that slow indeed. I recommend following:
- Position your device close to your wifi hotspot (a 50 Mbit provider speed can loose a lot of speed through walls and other things in your house)
- Make sure you keep Scenic open and in foreground when you download. iOS throttles download speed when an app moves to the background and/or your iPhone auto-locks

If you're enjoying Scenic and are happy with the support, please leave a nice rating in the App Store. It would mean a lot to me ❤️

After my post I decided to cancel the download and restart it again. This time - after a long while - the download was completed. Issue is solved. Thread can be closed.

By the way: it was not a problem of slow WLAN as I was sitting 3 m away from an access point having a 140 Mbit/s connection 🙂
